Heavenly Summer Peach Bars 5 Steps Ultimate Delicious

Summer is the season of sun-ripened peaches, and what better way to celebrate their juicy goodness than with a batch of Heavenly Summer Peach Bars? These irresistible treats combine a buttery, crumbly crust, a luscious peach filling, and a sweet, cinnamon-kissed crumb topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 34 large peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt for the crust. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture becomes crumbly. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until lightly golden, then set aside.

3. In a separate bowl, combine the sliced peaches, sugar, flour, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Gently toss the ingredients to coat the peaches evenly.

4. Spread the peach filling evenly over the pre-baked crust.

5. In another bowl, mix the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt for the crumb topping. Add the melted butter and mix until the mixture becomes crumbly. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the peaches.

6. Bake the Heavenly Summer Peach Bars for 35–40 minutes or until the topping is golden and the peach filling is bubbling.

7. Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing. For cleaner cuts, you can chill the bars in the refrigerator for a bit.

Notes

To ensure your Heavenly Summer Peach Bars turn out flawless, consider these helpful tips:

– Consider adding nuts or spices: Sprinkle chopped nuts on top of the crumb topping for extra crunch.
